Is this the fabled “metric fuckton?”

One is specifically tied to the other. These people are being manipulated into being right wing pro-authoritarian voters because of “woke” blah blah blah. It’s always their boogie man because it has been made part of their identity, it’s part of the victim complex they have and they feel like “free speech warriors” when they fight against it… It’s fucking disgusting.

Difficulty settings are wack. Normal is too easy and hard is way too hard. The slider literally goes from 1x/1x damage taken/damage dealt to 3x/0.6!

This was my only real complaint, other than them taking the noise cue away from lockpicking! I’ve really been itching for an elderscolls game with modern graphics and QOL so I’m super happy.

As for the lockpicking I learned something recently from a video and now I never break a pick. I can’t believe I never knew this:

Basically when you hit one tumbler there are the 3 drop speeds right? You push it up and it falls either slow, med, or quick. They “switch” between those three speeds when the tumbler falls back to the starting position.

If you hit a tumbler up and HOLD up (I’m on controller), or whatever key is up, then the tumbler will bounce slightly in the fully raised position. When it’s like this it will be remaining in the “fall speed” from when you first triggered it. We want it to be the slow fall speed so basically while it’s bouncing if you see any spring between “bounces” it’s too fast, let it fall to the starting position and try again.

If it’s bouncing and you can barely see any movement at all let alone any spring then it’s in the slow position, that’s what we want. When it’s like that watch the lockpick and when the lockpick is moving upwards trigger the lock with whatever the confim button is for you. It should always work!

“I can’t believe the country doesn’t get this!? The Republicans won and they hate this stuff so we just need to be Republicans and then we can win!”

This is the perfect cover for them. They don’t have to advocate for the incumbents, that’s what corporate media will do for them. They get the bonus of looking like they want to be neutral while neutering Hoggs ability to rally people against the feckless dinosaur moderates in the party.

For the incumbents and DNC leadership it’s a win. :/

This proves how unbelievably fucking stupid we are and how easily manipulated we are by propaganda…

He was the worst president, so we voted him in again and then he proved to be even worse than before…

Executive Order #352735182653746227374 “Resisting Trump in any way shape or form is now terrorism.”

That comic isn’t the trolly problem though. For it to be a problem you need to give a shit about both tracks. This is just an image of the real world. :(

As far as management goes x4 foundations is an awesome space game! I have hundreds of hours in that game spent just messing around with an industrial empire, buying mining ships, setting trade routes, all that fun stuff. You don’t even have to fight anything if you don’t want to.

I’m enjoying it quite a bit!

… except for the fucking lockpicking…

Whyyy did they have to make it so much harder?! It’s so unforgiving now and they took away the noise cue! I used to be able to do it without even looking at the screen because you could hear a distinct sound when it clicked into place. Now there are 3 different drop speeds and the sounds are so minimal…

I was always pretty interested in geology, but I knew that the only secure work would be for oil companies so I never went for the degree…

I was always really interested in gems and minerals, but admiring them isn’t a job, and photography in that field is insanely specialized and not exactly a reasonable goal to shoot for, so I never got that degree…

I was also always really interested in astronomy, but there’s literally no work in that field at all so I didn’t go for the degree…

I never “found myself” because all of my interests either has you working for “the enemy” or there just weren’t any jobs to be had. Now I’m stuck working in a factory and I have an upcoming job that’s for the Israeli military…

My friend is on one of the teams working on that so I suppose I’ll know soon enough if they’re gutting that portion. So far he hasn’t said anything, so here’s hoping they’re safe!

Marketing asshats: so… How do we get more people talking about the release? No press is bad press remember!

DO THE PAID HORSE ARMOR THING!

I want to end all my cream cheese conversations like this 40% off waffle iron:

Piss on carpet.

The argument we usually see in the US is some nonsense like “you’re comparing the Democrats in America to the left globally, you can’t do that! They’re to the left of Republicans so they’re the left!”

…ughh…

I’m so happy to have been wrong about the shadow drop! Now I just need to get through the rest of the day at work lol

And as is tradition she’ll be rewarded by the scumbag troglodyte Magoos…

Booooooo… So not today. I’m doubting the same day drop. Knowing marketing asshats they’ll want to run a week or more of advertising first especially if they’re calling this a reveal. :/
